Avne Marvel's The Avengers: Age of Ultron hasn't even begun filming yet and it is already arguably the most anticipated movie of 2015.

In other words: life is good. We all knew it was coming - but ever since its announcement this past May at the San Diego Comic-Con fans have been left scratching their head a little at that title. Thankfully the movie isn't based on the crossover series that shares the Age of Ultron title, but the idea of using Ultron as the primary villain in the next Avengers film has left more than a few fans asking themselves why.
